Kenya, Tanzania and Zanzibar
"Our family of 6 traveled to Kenya and Tanzania for a 12 day Kenya, Tanzania Safari with an extension to Zanzibar two weeks ago.. It was absolutely amazing. Our guide was Hamza in Tanzania and Simon in Kenya .The best guides we have ever had and we have traveled to many countries. There was not one subject that they were not knowledgeable about. He made the trip so memorable. Simon was so flexible and when he picked us up in the mornings to head out, he was talking nonstop to tell us so much about everything we were seeing. There was so much to see in Maasai Mara including the Big 5 and Maasai people. He made sure we saw it all.. He truly has a gift in the touring business, you feel as if your leaving your best friend when the trip is over. When we left Kenya for Tanzania and got to the airport in Arusha, Hamza spotted us before we saw him and of course, we asked him, how did you recognize us? He even went as far as to get the local Laibon to meet us in Ngorongoro . We also enjoyed our stay at Ndutu Camp where the staff had a birthday surprise for our 13 year old son.
Zanzibar was fantastic. We spent three nights at Blue bay beach club and also managed to do some tours in Stone town. Our guide in stone was Musa recommended by Africa Remote Safaris. The night before we left to return home, Musa did our names in Zanzibari Arabic frame, They were beautiful, He showed us a picture of the Presidents Face he had done for the The President of Zanzibar! Amy from Africa Remote Safaris planned our trip and she was amazing, planning everything as he thought we would like based on what I told her. She did an Outstanding job and literally sent our Itineraries by next day in a beautifully done spiral bound personally book for each family that was going on the trip, soooooooo impressed and she even got the guide we requested!!!! I can’t say enough about this trip and Africa Remote Safaris, we will definitely use again!!! We experienced a very different culture in going to Zanzibar(We could have stayed longer) and that’s what we wanted, a Very different exotic trip and thats what we got!!!! Again our accommodations we top notch, staying in the truly authentic Camps and Lodges like four Seasons Serengeti, they were sooooo Luxurious, Plan on taking another suitcase or buying one there because you will buy more things to bring home than any other trip because of all the Handicrafts there, especially in Zanzibar!!!
All want you can wish for in a safari!
Easy booking, good hotelsuggestions, excellent game-drives! We really got some great experienced, exitement and fun that we didn't expect!

Unforgettable 12 day safari for retired ladies from Canada
We just returned from safari in northern Tanzania and a week in Zanzibar.It was a very exciting trip for four retired gals.Magda met our every need from start to finish. We had our own 4 wheel drive vehicle with guide Meleck.He was extremely knowledgeable about all the animals and where to find them,also his driving skills were superb.Highlights were lions mating, 2 honeymoon couples we called them, and cheetahs hunting,3 brothers who worked as a team. Also lots of elephants, hippos, buffalos, gazelles,giraffes, baboons and even a couple of rhinoceros.Also a leopard and 11 lions up in trees.We especially enjoyed picnic lunches with Meleck chatting about our day. Magda was kind to arrange a visit to a medical clinic and orphanage which we were interested in. Tents lodges very comfortable, meals excellent, gorgeous views and conversation with other travellers interesting.Many photos taken.Last week relaxing at Blue Oyster Hotel on beach in Zanzibar,swimming and beach walking. Stonetown last 2 days, hotel charming ,great rooftop breakfasts. Thanks Magda, Edward and Meleck for an unforgettable holiday.

Amazing guide, amazing trip
We had a stellar experience on the safari designed and set up by Roho Ya Chui. Ute was very responsive to questions, and all the transfers between airports and camps were handled smoothly. We felt well taken care of. Our guide Manu was very knowledgable, personable, fun and patient with our million and one questions about what we were seeing. All the lodgings were lovely, the food great, the staff responsive. This whole experience was beyond my expectations.

uninterested driver
The driver I was with was very unprofessional and had no interest in showing me the true wild Serengeti. I saw more on my last vists in off season then I did in peak season. I did meet others who were having amazing sightings, but our driver was just in no mood to drive around. I felt that he was saving fuel. Also he would never stop in time when I wanted him to t to take a photograph. He did not have any knowledge of lighting either. He would talk back and was rude. It was like taking a driver from a city and sending him on a safari. He claims he has been doing this for a while , but in my opinion he was either inexperienced or uninterested. I would never use nor suggest this company to any of my fellow photographers. This company has just lost allot of business from me and my clients for sure.

Fantastic safari experiences
David in the Nairobi office did all the bookings for us extremely expertly. He also dealt with my numerous emails, each of which contained numerous questions. Thank you, David. Due to financial restraints my partner and I choose the cheapest accommodation. However, this did not mean that we lacked anything. On the contrary, everything was mostly good. Food was fine. Better than expected. I came down with a stomach bug on the penultimate day, but this could have been caused by a number of things... and not necessarily due to the food. Our main driver for the safari drives was Richard. Lovely knowledgeable man. He made sure that when there was something to see, he drove us to the appropriate place. At times there were lionesses with cubs merely feet from where I sat. Money can't buy that experience. Stanley, who drove us on the last 2 days was also very good. Learnt a lot from both these men. This holiday was due to my partner being 50 while we were in Kenya. In fact it became even more special when I proposed to him while we were in the Masai Mara. Certainly a holiday neither of us will forget.

An experience of nature and friendship
It was a very well-organized tour, studied in order to introduce people to Uganda starting from "darkness" (Bwindi impenetrable forest), travelling towards "light" (Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls) and a very modern city (Kampala).
The experience with Gorillas was unique, I will never forget it.
MJ Safaris Uganda provided a highly qualified, professional and capable guide for the tour, excellent accomodation and comfortable means of transport.

Jambo, Jambo bwana!
Dear Deo, Emanuel and Ombeni,
Thank you so much to give us a the best safari experience ever.
We made a 10 day safari in the north of Tanzania with a group of sixteen deaf people. I went along as the interpreter. Not only did they manage to tell us everything they know about the fauna and flora in the national parks, they also managed to really connect with their clients even thouhg there was a big language barriere. I especially want to thank the guides to be patient en repeat everything when things were not clear to me to translate. Also big thanks to show us all the animals we needed to see in Tanzania and answer all our questions we had on the Tanzian wildlife and human cultures. It was a tiring trip for all of us but they always kept smiling! Keep up the good work and maybe we'll meat again, maybe in the north, maby in the south, or maybe in Belgium ;-).
Kind regards
